mangaemi Posted October 14, 2015 Hooray I was able to pay off both (thank you 401k loan since I had planned to pay the dang thing off the first paycheck of November, doh) I'm sure they won't but it would be nice if they went ahead and shipped as people paid - unless by some madness they won't be ready right until October 31...

SisterKyoya Posted October 14, 2015 I don't see why they would delay the first shipment. From my experience the first shipment is on time, but the latter shipment groups can be delayed, seemingly based on how many orders they got and if they are accurate with their time estimates. This is usually why I try and order and pay as soon as I'm able because I'm pretty sure they seem to go by the rule 'first paid, first shipped' within a payment group. Either way I find myself regularly yelling at Volks in my mind to hurry up and get the girls shipped. I'm really not good at waiting. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitoma Posted October 14, 2015 Finally paid for my girls! I can't wait to get them, especially since they'll be my first DD. First time seeing one in person, which means first time holding one too. I've have BJDs, but that's different from a DD. October 31st is taking too long to get here. When I get the shipping notice it's really going to be hard waiting for them.

Only they have that power of permabanning if you're late. ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that that would help ease my hype, but it would be great to see new pictures of them. That's why whoever gets their girl(s) first needs to post pictures for us!

Shailara Posted October 15, 2015 Found someone for sheryl which is great ^^ Theres a ranka in the same order if someone wants her and also a split for her in the forum's Splits section.

Pickle Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Paid for Ranka.

You don't with a credit card. Shipping is pretty decent though considering she's a 55cm doll with a large box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when she arrives and things are packaged, they will pay for their shipping to them. So, it's only a minor loss~ ^^" Edited March 21, 2019 by Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitoma Posted October 25, 2015 I hope everyone has already paid for their preorders. The first delivery payment deadline is going to be approaching in 7 hours. Remember the deadline is 11:00 AM (Japan Time), October 26, 2015. Personally I'm excited for the deadline to end. It's one step closer to my girls coming home. Does anyone remember the outfit contests for Sheryl and Ranka? This contest- https://macross-fanclub-com.ssl-xserver.jp/dollfiedream/form.html They had posted the outfits that won ( http://www.volks.co.jp/macrossf/special_development03/ ), but we really haven't heard or seen anything dealing with them yet. I wonder how long it will take the outfits to become available. I also wonder if the outfit will be like Miku's Mikuzukin Set, were they're only sold at a certain place aka only in Japan.

KonekoHigure Posted October 25, 2015 If I understood right, the two last outfit pictures of the post will be available in 2015! So it will be soon! ^^ At home: Ashura (DD Ruri) - Nova (DDS Alice Kuonji) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitoma Posted October 29, 2015 http://www.volks.co.jp/macrossf/special_development08/ To get everyone more excited... volks posted a update on their Macross development monthly report. It shows what the boxes look like for each girl. There's so many boxes! Here's hoping for a shipping email on Friday! (31st in Japan) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SisterKyoya Posted October 29, 2015 AHHHHHHH! Now I've got butterflies in my stomach! They've been on my mind recently but I've been too busy to give them much thought more than just 'Not Yet.' *scrolls through the photos* "Is that my box? Is it that one?? Could it be over there?? That's not my box, nor that one either because I have one of each girl..." Okay, now I've got to calm down because I've got other work to do. In an ideal world I could get paid for spending loads of time spazzing out about DD. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Demiurgo Posted October 29, 2015 Luckly enough, I ended up to be in the first batch so I think I'll receive her pretty soon! Can't wait >. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitoma Posted October 31, 2015 Wow, nobody here received a delivery email last night? I thought for sure I would see a few people saying they got their delivery email. I think the only ones who got their dolls today, were those who went to the stores in person and got them. Well, let's all hope for Monday. Because of curiosity.. I looked on Y!Japan for Sheryl and Ranka and only found two Sheryl wigs for sell. So people did get Sheryl, but only those who live in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ayanenana13 Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) sheryl's head.. she looks so lovely.... but.. is it me or are her brows get darker and her mouth is not half open like in her promo pictures? Edited October 31, 2015 by Guest Ayane Nana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mangaemi Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) I hope it's just the angle... Bc she does not look at all like the dolls on display in the mouth area. There's no pouty lips anymore and that's what sold me on her to begin with these pics of her in normal light show the distinct mouth gap/pout - did they up and change it for mass production? If they did seems like a bait and switch http://s.ameblo.jp/blog-dd/entry-11966175861.html I wonder if Japanese people who have theirs already have made similar comments Edited October 31, 2015 by Guest ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
